Last night, I had a vision. God told me to write it down but I didn't, a common example of my laziness, but the basic vision was this:
There was a large metal globe in the middle of a room. The globe was slightly taller than an average human, and it was gold in color. The room was square, and also gold, and although details are fuzzy, it was basically empty, except for the globe. There were a few steps leading down to the globe on all sides, so the base was lower than the floor, but the globe itself was visible from anywhere in the room. There were a bunch of humans. Only a few were in the room, but they acted on behalf of a much larger group outside, maybe tens of thousands. This group wasn't necessarily standing together physically, they were in many locations, but rather, united by a common goal / identity / purpose. I didn't see this large group, but I knew they were there. All of these people were a mix of gold and purple. It was like they were gold, but with a bunch of large purple splotches on them.
Somehow, the people in the room were turning the room, and the globe, into this same mix of gold and purple. All they were doing, physically, was standing near the globe, but there was something more going on that I couldn't see, something spiritual. If I had to guess, perhaps they were praying to an evil spirit. When the globe was the same mix of gold/purple that they were, they stopped and cheered.
There was a vaguely malicious air to this, but it wasn't made clear why. Just that they were clearly doing this for evil purposes.
When the vision ended, everything was made clear, and it relates to something I've noticed for a long time now.
A common problem within the Christian church is people who don't know the difference between Christ, and Christianity. They see the church as a something like a sports team, a cause to fight for, a banner to wave, but then they fail to recognize the deeper aspects of it. We're building a relationship with a real, thinking, living Spirit. God is not a sports team trying to score more points than the other team, and Christianity is not about cheering for that team. Yes, we struggle and face mental/spiritual battles in this world, but that's not all Christianity is.
I was recently betrayed by a "friend" and a couple of his associates, who I'd believed were Christians, but were really fascists who had infiltrated the church. The sad thing is, I think these people really do believe they're Christians. But we need to be clear here, this is a Satanic lie they all fell for, it is not actual Christianity.
One of them told me it was okay to support a certain fascist organization because it was "openly Christian". Again, we need to draw a line to understand the flaw in this thinking. If we define Christianity as simply "sympathizing with Christians", then we're missing the crux of Christianity. Christianity is not simply a matter of spreading our influence across the land, like a military campaign. Christianity is defined by the teachings of Christ. These fascists, and people with a similar misunderstanding of religion, put aside Christ and His teachings, and just view it as a matter of where they can plant the most crosses, build the most churches. If we score more points than the other team, then we've won the game. We just need "the cross" to keep scoring points. But all of that is meaningless without THE LORD GOD, the spiritual leader and teacher and originator of our cause.
Let's take a few examples. Fascists support racism, nationalism, and often, sexism. The Bible does not: [Galatians 3:28], [Revelation 7:9]... Fascists use force to accomplish their goals. In this case, "Christian" fascists want to forcibly kick out (in some cases, even kill) all people who disagree with Christianity. In fact, the Bible teaches the opposite. If someone disagrees with Christian teaching, we are to peacefully leave them alone: [Matthew 10:14], and if they are hostile toward us, we are to pray for them, and try to help them: [Matthew 5:38-48], [Luke 22:47-51]. Yes we need to stick with Christ, even until death. We must never surrender our faith in Him, even if they try to persuade us. However, He does not instruct us to use force.
When someone supports these things in the name of "Christianity", they're actually acting against God and His teachings, no different than the pagans they're supposedly fighting.
This is because God doesn't simply want us to join His army, and then win by any means necessary. Our victory is already promised, it's just a matter of waiting for the rest of the prophecies to be fulfilled ([Revelation 20:10]). God has specific things He wants us to do, and things He wants us to avoid doing ([Deuteronomy 12:30]). In the mindset of these fascists, Christianity is nothing more than a symbol, and if that symbol covers more land, if that symbol sits on more people's bookshelves, if that symbol is shown to enough children in schools, then we've won the battle. GOD IS NOT A SYMBOL. God is a living Spirit with His own thoughts, and He does not approve of fascists acting this way "in His name", against His own wishes. A Christian follows the Bible. A fascist aims to hit his enemy in the head; instead of throwing a brick, he simply throws a Bible instead. They ignore the words of Scripture, and simply wave it around like a child with a favorite toy.
The fake "christians" of today were the gold/purple people in the vision. The world became the way they wanted, and so they cheered, either not realizing or not caring that their way was corrupted and poisonous. It was gold and purple -- colors commonly associated with royalty -- and so they believed they were right, when in fact they were evil ([John 7:24], [1 Samuel 16:7], [Matthew 23:27-28]).
They will try to tell you this line of thinking is "weak", comparing it with their more forceful approach. No, the opposite is true. It's them who are weak, because they lack the ability to regulate their emotions. The world is not as they want it, so they flail around in anger and illusions of strength to try to force others. They use manipulation tactics and schoolyard bullying, and what do they accomplish? The exact opposite of what God wants them to do. Fighting for the cross in a way that hurts the cross, they defeat themselves before the battle has even begun. The strong are those who follow Scripture with sincerity. If we become like the fascists because they call us "weak", then we become weak, like children giving into peer pressure. We want to be "like the big boys", so we follow them. We must not do this. It is sticking with our goals, continuing to follow God in the face of criticism, that shows our true strength.
If you follow this fascist line of thinking, and treat God as a mere symbol with no moral compass, then you are not a Christian, you are an idolator who worships an idol and not God, and thus God rejects you. It is not too late to fix this. You can be saved.
May God bless and guide you all according to His perfect will. In Jesus' name. Amen.
